We have an area here in Rhode Island that is a pretty popular fly spot. It's a wide open section of coastline, and there is a lighthouse about 3500 feet out that we love to shoot... I say "we" because I am pat of a local drone group and we often meet up there. The issue is that we always find that we have signal drop issues, even when we are only maybe 500 feet out. I figured it was because there is usually 3-4 of us flying different types of DJI drones. But even if I am there by myself, I have the same issue. I am attaching a map of the area. In the yellow circle, the point we fly from is right over the zero in "400", and the lighthouse is approximately where the red dot is. The area is pretty close to our major airport, but it's in a LAANC zone (which we do file approvals every time we fly there). Do you think it's still because the area is relatively close to an airport? The closest house is more than 1/4 mile away.
